Bluewater Productions plans to release a comic book biography of Apple CEO Steve Jobs in August, the company has announced.

'Steve Jobs: Co-Founder of Apple' is a 32-page book that charts the personality and career of Jobs and aims to offer readers "a unique insight into the Apple CEOs legendary drive to the top and his continuing fight to stay there".

"Admire him or hate him, Jobs' vision and business acumen revolutionized the world," said writer CW Cooke.

"Between he and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, you would be hard pressed to find someone with greater influence over how we communicate, interact and do business over the last 30 years," Cooke continued.

The title isn't yet listed on Amazon.co.uk though can be found on Amazon.com where it can be pre-ordered for $3.99 plus shipping.

"Steve Jobs is a very elusive individual. He strays from the public eye. He keeps to himself. He's not a paparazzi driven, media-hungry entity. He's a creator, an inventor, a genius. And he's the brains behind some of Apple's biggest items. Learn here the story behind the man, the legend of Steve Jobs," the item's product description reads.

"Get the inside scoop on what drives him to create and where his first need for intelligence came from. From his first Apple computer all the way to the newest inventions, learn how this man has shaped the company, and himself, for the better," it continues.

Bluewater Productions has previously released a biography comic book about Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

"There are definitely some similarities between Zuckerberg and Jobs. It takes a certain kind of drive and a certain kind of genius to move society the way they have. The idea behind both efforts is to show the person behind the personality and that it is never what you'd expect," Cooke said.

Another biography of Jobs, called 'iSteve: The Book of Jobs' is to be released by Simon & Schuster early next year, and can be pre-ordered now.
